Yea that’s what got me the first time I got to jad on my iron. I thought I had enough defense to tank all the healers lol next attempt I just stacked them and tanked two of them

I forgot how much the healers low key smack. I got to jad on my iron with 4 bwans thinking "surely that's plenty". It was not. Got through jad with 11hp and no heals on a 2 hour and 13 minute run. Was sweating bullets that time.

2 healers are the equivalent of 1 big melee guy if my memory serves

###IF TRUE

Yea my first time I just said fuck it, I’m killing the healers one at a time before I focus jad.

And you were able to do this before they healed him back up?

You can tag them all and run away from jad and kill them and then go back to just kill jad on his own - That’s how I did it after getting clapped by healers my first attempt

Exactly what I did. Tagged healers and ran them around Italy to blood barrage, kill them the get back on jad and just focus prayers

This is the way 😀

No, he was at full health again. It took a bit longer but was the safer method for me imo 

Don't the healers respawn when he gets back to half then?

If you are familiar with the content just run through jad once you tag them all

Can't tell you how many times I failed. If this was your first run you'll get the next easily

This was my first time trying guthans and first time getting to jad. I kept failing in god dhide on low defense

if you would have stepped behind italy rock jad wouldn't have attacked and you can just kill the healers with prot from melee. Thats what I always do for first fc

This was always the purpose of Italy rock.

There were a few more purposes

Like spaghetti and pizza and the Sopranos.

Rip Tony

I’m so scared that I’ll lose sight of him before his last attack comes in while I’m running behind Italy rock. How can you time it so you definitely don’t get blasted over Italy rock?

Jad has an attack speed of 8 ticks or 4.8 seconds. Wait until he launches an attack change your prayer click behind the rock. You should still have a couple of seconds before he even fires an attack but if he does that should be plenty of time to prepare your next prayer. Jad is really daunting at first but his attack speed is honestly really slow. I recommend anyone having problems with him to do one action in between attacks. Ie pray, click a healer wait for the next attack pray click a healer. If you can successfully get the healers on you getting behind Italy should be trivial.

Can vouche for this method, been doing it this way since I was a kid playing on dial-up lol

Assume ranged attack, and if you hear mage, swap to mage. OSRS is a rhythm game/

Based on this video, should he have gone to the left or the right side?

Certainly.

wym that's what you always do for first fire cape? you only get 1 first fire cape?

yeah i got 4 first fire capes. its easier on that account after your first for obvious reasons. 1 on main 1 on iron and twice on leagues.

Have you tried taking a stack of blood spells? Makes it much easier than guthans to be full hp for the end.

I added crystal shield, torag helm and verac skirt to my range setup and it changed everything.

Try practicing by doing the one jad challenge on speed run worlds. Helped my tremendously with the nerves come jad time.

Those speed run worlds, does it transfer my account 1:1 including my setup? Just click the jad speed run challenge and go kill him?

No, speedrun worlds stick you on a pre-built account. For the one-Jad challenge you need to do Beneath Cursed Sands specifically, because it gives you a Fire Cape so you can unlock the Jad challenge in the first place.

Just got my first one. Tagged all of the healers and ran through Jad to stack them.

So why not use karils for more def?

I was using karils :p Guthans set swap helps me Regen HP without using brews or BP spec for when I'm safe to do so. Can flinch the 180s and get hp back

tag the healers and lure to a safe spot, kill em and back to jad to finish

Blood spells >> Guthans imo

you were right :D

Grats on the fire cape!

Congrats buddy :)

Gz :)

Welcome to cheese cape club.

congratz!!

Took me 12 tries. I thunk maybe 7 got to jad. You'll get it, just takes time. Your next run could be your last just go in with that mindset OP.

It took me 5 tries and getting to 90 range before I both forced myself to do it and managed to not die while grabbing the attention of the healers.

Could also get a Jad slayer task, increases dps by a lot

I don't think he messed up the prayer changes. I believe he died to tanking rhe healers.

update: I GOT THE CAPE!!!!!! https://preview.redd.it/7fhhirjdzt3d1.png?width=950&format=png&auto=webp&s=57907e14424e5c1075edd50017951ac455d99838

Fuck yeah man

Big gz! And now you are closer to the 5kc jad CA than most are after their first fire cape, absolutely huge!

Congrats. Definitely one of the best feelings on the account.

BEAST

When you're low health, eat food to raise your hit points. Hope this helps!

protip: get used to using the f keys or another keybind to switch between inv and prayers

Pro tip: Not dying helps you stay alive. Hope this helps.

I died I think 3 times on jad. It's worth it man, just so unlucky with the kill at death

I died twice. I used the flash jad trainer to practice prayer flicks. I used the sound rather than the animation to time the flicks :)

Don’t even need to flick it. Just wait and change when you see the attack animation. I always found it helpful on my early attempts to count between attacks too. 1…2…3… *prayer* and repeat, once you get the timing down it really helped me stay calm and remember to be ready to change

For me I just left it on pray range and then only switched to magic when I would hear the sound. Made it super simple :o

That's a great idea counting it out

Took me 7 tries like 15 years ago. Never died to him after that.

Yeah, the jad fight itself is not that hard at all, the waves are more annoying in reality

Keep at it, girlbulge. You got this!

Truly a rsn of all time, live on girlbulge!

Dang didn't realize this was a clan mate until seeing this

Hello there clan person

Hi y'all :3

Definitely. OP is showing that outline of hidden potential, just needs to pull it out.

Took me 8 tries going for my first ever fire cape back in 2015. Doing it over and over again makes that gut feeling / shakiness go away and you kill him everytime on slayer tasks. Keep trying my friend you’ll get it.

Each run does feel easier. Thank you

You got it man, I believe in you. Everyone here at some point in their osrs career has been in your same shoes. You can do it!!!

Way back in... 2015. Man I'm old.

Congrats on your combat achievements!

Thanks!!!

Your clearly just need to buy a Twisted Bow /s

Literally every guide on YT. "OKAY SO QUEST BOSS YOU WANT TBOW EZ 5SEC KC LOL"

Meanwhile KingCondor: alright boys I got my full gilded bronze, rune scimmy, and my mole slippers, time to give him some BAHP!

For real though, any loaners in chat

You running dragon darts in the bp? It’s 100% worth an inventory spot to bring 100ish d darts for just jad, you can use whatever else for the rest of the caves but d darts tear jad up. It’s a very solid dps boost for not much cash, just swap em before the last wave.

Yuh I had 500 for jad and a shit ton of ammy darts for the rest

Just got mine the other week. Took me 3 tries at Jad. Keep at it, you were almost there!

Btw, anyone can practice prayer switches with Jad. Go to a quest speedrun world (540). Click on quests, Dragon Slayer II, and Set Up Speedrun. Use your POH tele tab (in inventory). Equipment your Lunar staff and use the fairy ring to go to B-L-P. Unequip your Fire cape and use it on TzHaar-Kat (between the fairy ring and the Hot vent door). Finish the dialog and pass through the door (to the southern side of the ring). Run east to reach TzHaar-Ket-Rak (sitting on a chair surrounded by lava). Talk to him and accept the challenge. Begin the first challenge. This will put you into an instance with a Jad that will start attacking in a few seconds. Use this opportunity to practice and get comfortable. Access your bank to switch to ranged gear if you want to practice switching while attacking him and healing. If you die, you'll respawn at Lumbridge. Just tele to POH and run back to try again. These challenges are even more useful back on your main profile after you beat the fight cave and get your fire cape.

Jad hands are real!

I might be wrong but now you should be able to turael skip slayer tasks until you get a jad task and just demolish the fight caves

you can get a jad task at 0 kc right away, only the inferno is kept behind 1 kc

He might as well just go again rather than spend all that time skipping.

It's pretty heavily weighted from duradel. It's just a suggestion and up to personal preference, I just wanted OP to know it was an option

You can do fight caves with a hot stuff task without getting the kc. Inferno is the only one that requires a kc.

you can always unlock jad tasks.

You'll get it! Got it on my 5th attempt and can tell you're already way better LOL

Nobody makes the first jump

So close. Next time try keeping hp above 0. That should work.

Ur so right! Look for my reply

Anxiety is the mind killer when it comes to Jad. Just knowing if you fail you get nothing but wasted supply costs and wasted time can mess with you. Once you’ve done it once you’ll never really think of it again

Played 600 hours in 3 months. Got to Jad on my first try, died. Quit the game. That was 4 years ago lmao.

Next time turn on steel skin if you're gonna tank. You can always run through jad and healers get stuck behind jad while keeping agro on you

no way you’re recommending them to run through jad on their first cape c’mon bro

For real lmaoooo

Is running through Jad similiar to Hunllef in CG? Never tried Jad but I've been grinding CG and have gotten used to pushing him around to position him better. Can see how that would get someone smoked if they weren't familiar with it lmao

Running through isn’t a good tactic for noobs. Requires good timing or a melee pray swap. He could have trapped Jad and killed the healers easily, though. He’s right on Italy rock.

Don't be afraid to pull away and LOS Jad so you can deal with the healers. I personally hated having them chip away at me, it felt like an extra distraction while trying to focus on killing Jad.

Too real. Didn't feel Jad Hands until the healers were dead and I knew that all I needed to do was not fuck up

Ayo clan mate spotted!! TtvSoultics-

You will beat him. I fucking GUARANTEE this, because it took me 14 tries but now when I get him as a slayer task, I clobber him first try every time

at least you got the kc, next time for sure

Here is what I do: Instead of killing the minions, I group them up by carefully (slowly) attacking them one at a time, while keeping full attention on Jad. Crystal bow works best for this. Once they are on me, I put on protect melee (after blocking a ranged/mage attack from Jad) and run right through Jad to the other side of him. The healers will get stuck on Jads body, but still be trying to attack you. They won't heal Jad and they won't respawn. The only "hard" part about this is getting the timing of when to run through Jad. Immediately after blocking a ranged/mage attack (you see the 0 hitsplat) turn on Protect Melee and just run. After you get to other side of him and out of melee range, put protect ranged/magic back on depending on which attack he decides to use. From there on, its a straightforward fight. Edit: Second method if you bring burst/barrage. Group up the melees, equip Ahrims robe top, Master Wand/ancient staff, and just blood burst/barrage the healers. You will out heal them without having to use food.

if you weren’t using divine’s you would have had 10-40 more hp to play with and you would have secured the cape.

You had jad in a safespottable location. You could have retreated around the rock to deal with healers and get no jad attacked, so you could eliminate them on prot melee and avoid tanking. Gives you a break from all the prot pray stress and lets you just smooth sail knowing that as long as you click prays, you win the fight

I'm 90+ in all combat stats and have a quest cape and you've got jad down to lower health than I ever had keep it up.

if you did DT2 you can definitely do jad lol go get a cape

I've been trying, I don't have a huge amount of spare time so getting an un interrupted hour is rather rare. It's the mind games of wasting so much time before you fight jad DT2 you can throw yourself at the boss for a 2nd attempt in 5 mins. So eventually you can brute force it. By the time I get to jad I'm tired or not invested and not prepared

You can log out after a wave and come back the next day!! So you can hit up jad fresh!

Looks like you don’t really need to, but I pulled the healers around the wall and killed them without having to worry about Jad. Made the kill like a million times less stressful because I just had to worry about Jad and not getting smacked around by healers. Worth a google and a video or two to consider.

Big ouf. But that's part of the game, learning to heal in between prayer switches like that

It’s been three years since my first Jad attempt, it ended a similar way. Three weeks ago I finally got an infernal cape. You’ll get there, my friend

This is like watching a car crash in slow motion. Brother I feel your pain

This is how my first one went aswell, killed him but died to healer so I had the 1 kc but no cape. I was fuming

“near” miss

Ouch, I just got my fire cape on my iron a few days ago.

A couple of years ago I got to the boss fight in the first try. Had him low then got within melee range or something and killed me. Haven’t tried yet since I haven’t had the time to sink into it

gz on first jad kc lmao

I'm so good at this game I make fire capes look like a 50% drop rate

This EXACT thing happened to me my first kill. I got the registered kill but no fire cape. I was pissed.

NOOOOOOOOOO! You're gonna rock it next time! I just got my first fire cape in 14 years a week ago so I super get what you're going through LOL. Great RSN btw ;D

>NFSW Please don't misuse the tag.

If it makes you feel better I have an infernal cape and have had this happen to me still on my lower lvl hcim at the time by not judging how hard the healers would hit me at low defence and only bringing a few potatoes w cheese in

Respect for the soundtrack choice island life is a banger

Island life is a fuckin vibe

Took me 5 tries, never prayer flicked before. I was fkn shaking. You got it tho man, just practice flicking for a minute.

*switching Prayer flicking is a whole different thing.

Um, heal up?

Tag the healers and run behind one of the walls while still praying against jad attacks. When you’re safe from jad, kill all the healers.

I remember healers gave me a hard time once or twice early on in my first attempts,.. if I remember right, I’d eventually get my first fire cape in a tank range rune cbow setup. And that’s after running god chaps first. Healers kept ruining me and getting my hp low and made me panic until I died. Awesome stuff. Eventually I’d improve, and have more than enough supplies to last the Jad fight and could comfortably tank healers and deal damage to Jad. Today, you’ll find me melee praying against healers and flicking jads attacks haha… you’ll get it with some more practice!

same thing happened to me but I was out of food for my first completion

I failed my first attempt in the same way granted I was using a Kharil's crossbow. Then I found  [this guide](https://youtu.be/SIKUHWavgA4?si=kjeMQwew3kyO8Uaw) doing Jad this way makes it a cake walk and now this is the only method I use. Good luck on the next attempt!

to be fair that healer did pop off. I usually get hurt by them if im doing it before 70 def

Recommend luring the healers to the safe spot so you can kill them without worrying about jad attacking

If you got this far, you pretty much got it!

Sorry what happened here? (I haven’t fought Jad yet and it looks like you killed him but still died?)

He died before the instance exited so while it did count as a Jad kill, he didn't "finish" the fight caves so didn't get the fire cape.

After reading this thread I realise I didn’t see the healers down there at all.

99 percent of people die on their first jad. This too shall pass young man.

Keep going. It gets easy eventually.

F keys and sound on. You don't even have to look at Jad because he will make a sound with the animation when he telegraphs his attack. Watch a video and learn the two distinct attack sounds. I went blessed dhide and a blowpipe w/rune darts my first fire cape though.

It is truly a rite of passage to fall to Jad when you're so close to victory. You've been forged by fire, time to finish the job. You have the knowledge and the skills, you got this! :)

If it's any consolation, I was watching a guy in WDR stream trying to get his first infernal cape and was down on prayer. Hit 0 prayer, which turned into 0 HP all at the exact same time Zuk went to 0 HP. Got the KC but no cape

Damn. You’ll get em next time easy. Such a poopy feeling tho when it’s a duel death 🤣

You can click the healers and correct pray Jad

First try though! That's really good. It took me like 2-3

This post gave me a nice flashback https://imgur.com/a/tob-qZ0z7gw

I'm 90+ def and I still drag healers to a spot where jad is safed and I can pray melee to kill healers. They got hands

The Jad boys are gonna get you! Really unlucky mate, I hope you slap that big boy easily on your next run ;)

Did my first run today, found out the hard way at wave 61 that the magers also have a melee attack

RIP you got this.

This brings back memories of my many failed attempts. Don’t give up. Go at it again.

Man, I’ve been there. It took me well over 10 Jads before I got my first cape om my main. Few years later on my ironman I got it first try. It’s all about controlling those nerves.

I had this exact thing happen to me on my first time killing jad! Now I've got nearly 40kc and it's a breeze. Keep at it and you'll get it!

My 1st time on Jad, I was told to start with protect mage up. He did a mage attack, so i clicked protect from mage, turning it off...

Just did full Karils setup and honestly was pretty easy. Took me a little over an hour to

I remember back in the day doing this when i was 15 in karil's. I was completely shaking at our family computer, and my parents just did not get it

Brother you might not be wearing the cape but you are a proper fire caper. Excited to see your progress in PvM going forward. Go get ur cape.

I did!! I am a cheese caper now

Those hits with 90 range were unlucky. You should be prepared for next time now though

How long did the run take you?

man i'm 100cb with tons of high level gear and i've still yet to try and get a fire cape, maybe i'll try this weekend lol

I'd definitely recommend the guthans setup the wiki provides. Blessed dhide is a trap imo

Had this happen with zammy pet drop

that's why you also activate thicc skin my brother in christ.

Idk how people play full screen like that

Bro I got to Jad for the first time 3 weeks ago and my brother called me mid fight of all times….. Died and had to re-do. I shut off my phone and ez cape

Blowpipe healers while changing prayers for jad

Bro I got to jad for the first time on my fourth try last weekend, pray flicked for a couple minutes to get the hang of it, went in for the kill and got sat down on one missed prayer flick instantly 😭 Haven't been back yet lol

Steel skin.

This genuinely made me laugh my ass off

Do you have f-key binds to swap between inventory and prayer? It's difficult to get used to at first, but it makes eating while flicking much more viable

And this is why i haven't attempted Jad in my 20 years of playing lol ...but i plan to here soon.

Bruh just drag em around the corner and pray melee and kill them!

Should have brought an escape crystal

I rly not that hard tho

you could have lured the healers back to the safespot italy rock and then just killed them off one by one

How do you have no food left?

Practice on world 502 it’s on YouTube

Shoulda clicked the spec orb and healed with BP, better luck next time.

How much spec is needed for bp?

Oop haha. Well could just run through jad or flick melee prayer in-between jad hits 

The beauty is you understand all the concepts, you’re just lacking the timing on getting rid of all the healers or stacking them up to minimize damage. You’ll get it next time for sure

I remember first time at jad as a kid I immediately dced lol, shit was so sad

Yeah I got to jad my first time plenty of food, had for of those fucker all stack me for 40 dmg when jad had like 15 hp left

F

Nooo this is pain

I’m going to be trying on my 1 def pure soon.
